TENCEL™ Lyocell

Textile fibers

Experience the natural comfort and versatility of TENCEL™ Lyocell

About the fiber

TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers are cellulosic fibers derived from the natural raw material wood. They are known for their high tenacity profile and high moisture uptake, offering a higher perceived thermal comfort level to the wearer.

TENCEL™ Lyocell is also known for its innovative closed-loop production process. Wood pulp is transformed into cellulosic fibers, while more than 99.8 percent of the solvent is recovered and fed back into the loop, resulting in close-to-zero wastage.

Benefits

How you benefit from TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers

50 percent less water consumption

TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers are made with at least 50 percent less carbon emissions and water consumption compared to generic lyocell.¹

Responsible wood sources

The wood used as raw material for all TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers is sourced from certified² or controlled wood sources.

Naturally soft & smooth

TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers give fabrics a natural softness, making them feel pleasant against the skin.

High moisture regulation

The fiber structure allows the absorption and release of moisture. In the final fabric, these moisture controlling properties support a drier microclimate on the skin.

Reduced odor development

Our fibers absorb sweat efficiently, resulting in reduced moisture on the fiber surface. This creates a less favorable environment for the growth of odor-causing bacteria.

Tracing technology

TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers are produced with a molecular marker. This special identification technology ensures the authenticity and traceability of TENCEL™ fibers.

EU Ecolabel

TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers certified with the EU Ecolabel have a reduced environmental impact across multiple stages of the product life cycle.³

Biodegradable & compostable

TENCEL™ Lyocell are certified for biodegradability and compostability in various environments.⁴

Rich colors

TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers support rich and saturated colors in fabrics.

High tenacity

TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers are characterized by a high tenacity among cellulosic fibers.

Manufacturing process

TENCEL™ Lyocell is known for its innovative closed loop production process. Wood pulp is transformed into cellulosic fibers, while more than 99.8 percent of the solvent are recovered and fed back into the loop, resulting in close-to-zero wastage.

According to the Higg Materials Sustainability Index (MSI), TENCEL™ Lyocell has a significantly lower environmental impact than generic lyocell in the categories of abiotic depletion of fossil fuels (up to 39 percent), global warming (up to 53 percent), water consumption (up to 69 percent) and eutrophication (up to 60 percent).⁵
